Afternoon rain and storms across Denver with cooler weather on the way
Rain chances fire up in the mountains by the afternoon on Tuesday, before moving down into the Denver area by the late afternoon. While the risk for severe weather across Denver is low, there is the potential to see some heavy rain with some of these slower-moving showers late Tuesday.
The Eastern Plains are under a Level 1-Marginal risk for some scattered severe storms this afternoon.
Damaging winds and heavy rain are possible with some of the stronger storms that could linger late into Tuesday.
By Wednesday, more rain and storms are possible, bringing the threat for severe weather to the Denver metro and urban corridor into Northern Colorado.
Some of Wednesday's stronger storms could produce those damaging wind gusts, as well as large hail.
Temperatures will stay hot on Tuesday, warming into the low 90s, but cooler weather is headed in on Wednesday and Thursday.
It's a short-lived trip to the 80s. By Friday, high pressure builds back, and things heat up and dry out heading into the weekend.

Tsunami advisory expires along California coast south of Santa Barbara County, National Weather Service says
The tsunami advisory issued along the Southern California coast on Tuesday night has expired, the National Weather Service confirmed Wednesday morning. Both the Los Angeles and San Diego field offices for the NWS confirmed that advisories expired across the entirety of the coast in Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. As of 6:20 a.m., advisories were still in place from the southern border of Santa Barbara County and the Humboldt and Del Norte County line. The advisories were issued after a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck near the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia around 4:30 p.m. Pacific. From then on, the entire West Coast of the U.S. was placed on a tsunami watch, later upgraded to an advisory. The advisory was also lifted in Hawaii, but not before large portions of the state were subject to evacuation orders. No major damages have been reported yet. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Another sizzling day across South Florida with highs soaring to the low 90s and "feels-like" temperatures in the triple-digits. Wednesday got off to a warm and steamy start with temperatures in the low 80s and "feels-like" temps in the low 90s. While the morning will be mainly dry, around midday and in the afternoon a few showers and storms will be possible. Florida's lobster mini-season is underway and Mother Nature is cooperating as there are no alerts or advisories for boaters. Boaters over the Atlantic waters can expect light winds out of the south at 5 knots with seas of 2 feet or less and smooth conditions on the bays. Boaters in the Keys can expect light winds out of the southeast at 5 knots with seas around 1 feet and smooth conditions nearshore. For beachgoers, there is a low risk of rip currents and the UV index is extreme. Thursday stays hot and humid with afternoon highs in the low 90s and "feels-like" temperatures in the low 100s. Heat advisories may be issued by the National Weather Service if the heat indices reach 105 degrees for two hours or longer. The chance of rain will remain at 20% with spotty showers possible. The sweltering heat sticks around through the weekend as highs remain in the low 90s and "feels-like" temperatures continue in the triple-digits.

Hurricane Iona 'rapidly weakening' in the Pacific Ocean: See tracker
Hurricane Iona is "rapidly weakening" well to the south of Hawaii, and more weakening is expected on Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said in an advisory late Tuesday night. In an advisory issued at 11 p.m. local time on Tuesday, July 29, the NHC said Iona had maximum sustained winds around 105 mph with higher gusts. The hurricane reached maximum sustained winds around 125 mph on Tuesday, reaching Category 3 status on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale. Iona is expected to continue moving west, although further weakening is expected Wednesday, followed by "little change in strength" Wednesday night and Thursday, hurricane center forecasters said.

It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time. NHC also tracking Tropical Storm Keli, 3 other disturbances in the Pacific In addition to Iona, the hurricane center is also tracking Tropical Storm Keli and three other tropical disturbances in the Pacific. Keli is moving rapidly westward and that motion is expected to continue during the next day or so, according to the NHC, with maximum sustained winds near 40 mph with higher gusts. Forecasters said Keli is expected to weaken to a tropical depression by late Wednesday and dissipate by Thursday. Also in the Pacific, the hurricane center said late Tuesday night, July 29, an area of low pressure located about 1,150 miles east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands "remain limited and have changed little since this morning." Forecasters said if persistent showers and thunderstorms re-develop during the next day or so, a short-lived tropical depression could still form, as the system is expected to enter the Central Pacific basin shortly. The NHC gives this system, labeled as EP98, a 60% chance of formation through the next 48 hours. The hurricane center also said it is keeping tabs on a trough of low pressure located several hundred miles southwest of the southwestern coast of Mexico that is producing "a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms." Environmental conditions appear conducive for development, the NHC said, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the next day or two while the system moves west-northwestward around 15 mph, remaining "well offshore of the southwestern coast of Mexico." Hurricane center forecasters give this system, labeled as EP99, an 80% chance of formation through the next 48 hours. Lastly, an area of low pressure is forecast to develop well south of southern or southwestern Mexico late this week, the hurricane center said. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this system and a tropical depression could develop over the weekend or early next week, the NHC said July 29. The system has a 60% chance of formation through the next seven days. How do hurricanes form? Hurricanes are born in the tropics, above warm water. Clusters of thunderstorms can develop over the ocean when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If conditions are right, the clusters swirl into a storm known as a tropical wave or tropical depression. A tropical depression becomes a named tropical storm once its sustained wind speeds reach 39 miles per hour. When its winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane. Prepare now for hurricanes Delaying potentially life-saving preparations could mean waiting until it's too late. "Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period," NOAA recommends. Develop an evacuation plan: If you are at risk from hurricanes, you need an evacuation plan. Now is the time to begin planning where you would go and how you would get there. Assemble disaster supplies: Whether you're evacuating or sheltering-in-place, you're going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for the potentially lengthy aftermath, NOAA said. Get an insurance checkup and document your possessions: Contact your insurance company or agent now and ask for an insurance check-up to make sure you have enough insurance to repair or even replace your home and/or belongings. Remember, home and renters insurance doesn't cover flooding, so you'll need a separate policy for it. Flood insurance is available through your company, agent, or the National Flood Insurance Program. Act now, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period. Create a family communication plan: NOAA said to take the time now to write down your hurricane plan, and share it with your family. Determine family meeting places, and make sure to include an out-of-town location in case of evacuation. Strengthen your home: Now is the time to improve your home's ability to withstand hurricane impacts. Trim trees; install storm shutters, accordion shutters, and/or impact glass; seal outside wall openings. Gabe Hauari is a national trending news reporter at USA TODAY.
